Ukraine continues to make impressive economic and political reforms that will help spur greater political stability and economic growth, and it’s important that the U.S. sustains this support moving forward. This loan guarantee will provide further momentum for the ambitious political, economic and anti-corruption reform efforts crucial to Ukraine’s long-term success.”
 
Portman visited Ukraine in April and led a Congressional delegation to monitor last year’s presidential elections. He has met with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko as well as top U.S. and Ukrainian military officials to discuss the best way to deal with continued Russian aggression.
